So I am trying something a little new for my blog posts. I’m not sure how long it will last, if it will be consistent, or it will even work effectively.

I often get behind on blogging/posting to my website because of the amount of time it takes to describe the sheer awesomeness that each family and session deserves. I love each and every family/person that I have the privilege of capturing, but the journalistic side of my job I often find difficult. So, in order to get you WAY more cuteness and a higher volume of eye candy, I have decided I’m only going to include photos for each of my blog posts from here on out (at least as a trial).

I mean, seriously, you all surely don’t come to a photographer’s website to READ, do you?!

So, without further ado, this is 18 month old Charlotte and her amazing family….

You know those people that come into your lives that you immediately feel like you’ve known forever? That was this family of 4. They arrived at their session, their kiddos dressed in their PJ’s (to avoid winkled carseat clothing), tousled hair and grimaces on their faces. They had fallen asleep in the car on the way to their session. Normally, any other day, this would not be a time they would ever fall asleep.

However, while towing kids, Mom had the biggest, sweetest smile on her face. She told me what happened and I said, “Absolutely no worries at all! We got this!”

Their oldest was having nothing to do with wanting to change, wanting to take photos, and of course this strange location with some strange new lady.

Between Mom, Dad and me, we managed to get them changed, snuggled and eventually, we got them both on board with photos — I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I need to grab from on occasion. Luckily for all of us, they worked like a charm!

This family. So much love. I’m telling you. I would have been freaking out if my kids came to their session grumpy and tired, but not these two. They just loved on them, were so patient and, honestly those are my favorite photos of all time. Because that is what being a parent is — being flexible, being loving, being patient. Those kids are surrounded by the some of the most loving people!

Good luck trying to narrow these down – I couldn’t even do it for your blog post.

I had the pleasure of photographing an old friend’s newest addition….her second baby girl. These little cuties are adorable, just like their mama! Vallie’s big sister, Ivy, was very proud to show off her little sister and, despite that she really wasn’t sure about being in the pictures, she did AMAZING. I mean, look at the pictures we got of them together!! I know that Mom and Dad will cherish these forever!

Thank you again for the opportunity to capture our sweet little girls!

Olivia arrived to my studio ready for her first images in this big world. She was born with a full head of hair, long eyelashes with a curl, and the best little lips. She was such a good little model for me. I absolutely loved her session colors — turquoise, creams and yellows. She looked amazing in all of them! Thank you for choosing me as your newborn photographer. It means more to me than any of you will ever know!
